Joe Cannon is a good ole boy, a Southern Tennessee Democrat made good. He's confident in who he is and he knows who he wants to be. All the personal failures and vices that might have once stood in the way of his climb up the political ladder are far in the past.
But Joe has a problem. He's not sure he's done a very good job of raising his daughter. Rachel not only disagrees with him politically but also has all the bad personal habits and vices he tried hard to leave behind. Joe often fears his daughter will harm his career.
One night, when he returns to his capitol building office to do some thinking about how to best ensure his daughter's choices do not affect his own future, Joe is confronted by a dark figure. The man in the shadows seems to know far too much about his personal history for Joe's comfort. More than that, he seems to be threatening Joe's life.
Can Joe escape the shadows of his past and prevent himself from getting killed in the process?

Fans of Rod Serling's old Twilight Zone series will enjoy this dark but humorous story of a politician who reaps exactly what he's sown. Perfect length for a cup of coffee...or a bottle of Guinness, perhaps. Well done, Mr. Thorne.

What makes a good horror story ? A combination of fear, guilt, passion and mystery. A successful politician could lose his power and influence so he found a way to stop this. His conscience appears in the shape of shadow man. WE is a symbol of double personality or conscience. He sacrifice his own daughter for a higher purpose.
Even reader with weak nerves could be upset , this story leaves a high impression. We all have weak spot and it might cost us.

A great read. I really enjoyed the portrayal of the dark figure in Joe's room and the interchange of dialog. It conjured up a strong mental image of the action and would make a superb short movie. Excellent work, Isaac.
